Step 1

Chemical kinetics is the branch of chemistry that mainly deals with the rate of reaction and change in the concentration of reactant and product molecules with time. The rate of reaction expresses by the rate law which states that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the active concentration of reactant molecules.

Step 2

Activation energy is the minimum energy that is needed to convert reactant to product molecules. Thus for a chemical reaction to be occurred, the correct orientation of molecule and activation energy is needed.

The half-life of a reaction indicates the time in which the half of the reactant changes to product of its original amount.
